Appears that the problems are fixed and no new transcode problems have been reported. If new problems do crop up, a new BT can be opened. |

Transcode fixes just checked into GIT include the reported problems here and at least 1 from 0000346 (but not the vdpau issue yet): - video files only, that is there is no audio, now convert correctly - single frame files, like png's, fixed to convert better. - if you have a video file that also contains audio, and you convert only the video, the original audio will stay on the timeline if do not check "Remove originals from project". Or vice versa if audio converted and not video. - You will get an error message if you already have a convert file in the selected format with the same suffix name and try to transcode it again with a different selection made -- i.e. the already converted file has both video and audio and now you request video only. So you will have to delete that file first. - There was a problem with changing the suffix tag in some case and a fix was put in and I hope we got all of the cases. If not, outline the steps to produce the problem so we can fix that case too. Just a note to remind me to add to documentation, that multiple stream media, will only transcode the first stream (this would be like the TV channel recordings here in the U.S.) |

For the manual. The process of transcoding works directly from the resource, it is independent of the timeline. However, the settings of the project have an effect, for example the dimensions are taken into account. The resulting files are also larger than if they were created directly with ffmpeg. Phyllis, the part after the "but" I unfortunately can't understand, I assume it's important because there's an exclamation mark at the end. I already delivered the solution in the beginning. |

OK, you are right. I had tested with an mp4 file that had audio and simply deleted the audio tracks before transcoding -- that seemed to work. So now, I tested with an mp4 that started out with no audio and it confirms the failure. But , fixing for my mkv test case failure most likely would have fixed all cases. I have to make sure I can create the error or there is no way to fix it or tell if it is fixed! |

Thanks for playing along, but your observation doesn't coincide with mine. The video to be transcoded can be in any container, important is, it doesn't contain audio. Under these conditions, an empty file is created, where the transcoding process does not report an error. Only when it is replaced by CGG is it discovered that something is wrong with the transcoded file. To create a video file without audio, proceed as follows: ffmpeg -i $IN -an -sn -c:v copy -map 0:0 $OUT.mov The "-an" and "-sn" switches prevent the editing of audio and subtitles, "-map" points to the video and must be determined if necessary (fprobe $IN 2>&1 | grep 'Stream.*Video'). Instead of "mov" you can of course also use its derivative "mp4". Be so good and check it again. |

I have confirmed part of this using an "mkv" file with no audio. An mp4 file where the audio tracks were deleted still worked. Also confirmed that the name change from the default of what is in the individual's preferences file ($HOME/.bcast5/Cinelerra_rc) does not seem to allow for changing the name. |
